economy are so widely divorced that it
may be questioned if they were ever
welded.
The citizens of Salt Lake have never
determined that the DRY Benchers''
should be given waterr no person has
been elected to the City Council On that
promise; it has never been an issue,
and no representative of the people in
the City Council has ever been so fool
ish as to promise that thirteen men,
each as potential in voting as himself
would do a given thing, and therefore
no member has promised water. He
may have promised to help such a
cause, but he could not commit the
Council.
We would be glad if this city would,
by vote, determine to give the north
the east, and other benchers ample
water. To that end We are working; to
that end We shall continue to work. And
it is because such articles as the two
which appear this morning will injure
that cause that we will refuse tc
publish any more. The reference
10. ecc'esiastical interference is very
unfortunate. This problem, if it may
De dignitied with such title, is one Of
municipal economy and far-sighted-
ness. It may be made political ques-
ton; but in no light can it be an
ecclesiastical one. The very fact that
such meetings have been held. that
politics and religious Influences have
oeen brought into the discussion, the
very fact that an irreligious sheet mas
applauded the evidence OF manhood u
in the shape of intemoerate aud I'M
truthful utterances, all these prove
such thing as ecclesiastical domino
ton to have been impossible; otherwise
there woula have been no mass" meet,
ing, but few to applaud unwise rawlings,
and the manhood" commended by an
enemy would have been wanting.
AS for the reference to "workers"
and to the idle" ones as distinguishing
the Dry Benchers from the City Coun-
cillors and those not residing on the
bench, it is simply the talk of child.
All men are builders; some less than
others, but all are builders. The Crea
tor of all makes no mistake, and lie
made all men for a purpose. 1t is as
unbecoming in the toiler who earns his
bread by the sweat of his brow to refer
to the capitalist as al ''idler," as it is
for the capitalist to view his hardwork-
ing fellow being as machine" or a
brute" Men are idle only in degree.
Wealth, like intellect, is trust, and he
who possesses either in degree is re.
sponsible in degree.
We can see this controversy looming
into fire of such proportions that, IN,
less stopped sooE, it will not be put out,
though you turn all the waters of Utah
Lake on to the dry bench and wash the
soil houses, trees, grass, and all away.
We warn the Dry Benchers of this. You
want wat-r, not fight; but by pur-
suing an unWise and unjust course,
feelings may be engendered which will
not only retard the work you have in
hand, but will ultimately give rise to
other difficulties that years cannot over
come.
We urge our dry bench friends to
listen to the voice of wisdom, and it is
to seek the ways of peace. They will
tell. THE HERALD may still publish
articles on the subject, but the last in
temperate, injudicious and untruthful
communication on this subject appears
N its columns this morning.

State, which is the unit in question,
may agree on some fundamental
change in certain of the institutions,
and they cannot change them except
on the condition that two-thirds of
their neighbors or, in one case, every
one of their neighbors agree to the
change. That is, their ancestors of
hundred years ago, entered into this
covenant and the sequel has shown
that they have made legislation which
binds their posterity, it may be against
their will. To illustrate, in 1882. South
Carolina, through unanimous vote OF
convention, and it will not be asserted
that the case would have been different
if the people had voted unanimously for
the measure, declared a certain tariff
law to be null and void and no law"
and authorized the people of the State
to refuse to pay taxes under the law
and denied the right of the United
States Supreme Court to question the
validity of the ordinance of the con
Vention.
Andrew Jackson asserted that 1.-the
Union must and shall be preserved
and inaugural measures to enforce
the national authority. The point
was abandoned and q compromise
effected. This incident shows that
the Carolinians of the Eighteenth
century legislated irrepeaIably for the
Carolinians of the Nineteenth century,
for one generation made certain stipu-
ations for their comfort and protection,
which a succeeding generation were
told they could not change.
So that the States have relinquished
insswhole or part great many of their
rights of sovereignty, such as taxing,
declaring war, regulating foreign com
merce, maintaining standing army.
etc., all of which are vastly important
and no State can rescind or alter these
concessions unless, forsooth, the other
States in proper number are willing.
Indeed, two-thirds of the States may
widen the power of Congress ty mar
rowing that of the States and any des-
senting STATE will be entirely without
recourse-depriVed of primary rights,
without the consent even of their re
mote ancestors. The principle seems
TO be clear, therefore, that States may
by contract, limit the power Of succeed
ing generations TO change their consti-
tuition. This is what Utah proposes to
do.
tSeeond-Mr. Varian asserts: The
right to define offenses and to perscribe
penalties for violations of law, is inner
ent in all government. Without it gov
eminent could not exist. 1t may not be
bartered or surrendered.

ITO commit the question in whole or
in part, of amending or repeating the
criminal laws OF State, to the Federal
Congress, is an attempt to surrender
one of the primary rights of the people
to another sovereignty, and is absurdly
Intellectual"
Is that so? Is the right to punish for
crime more primary" than the right
to tax more essential to the existence OF
government Both are fundamental.
Yet we find, Section of the Constitu-
ton, that Congress has power, ITO lay
and collect taxes, duties, imports
and excise" Are these surrenders of the
primary rights of the people "absurdly
ineffectual2" And it will be remem
bered that no State may rescind these
grants, may recall these primary rights
so effectually given away, unless the
sister States agree. No non-manufac-
turing, raw material-producing State
can escape from national import duties
though every vote in the State desired
it; they are taxed and without their
consent, by :he consent of their grand
fathers, if you please, and cannot es-
cape from it. So it would seem. other
things being equal, that it would neither
be absurd nor Intellectual for Utah to
partly relinquish even primary right.
Moreover, if conditions may not be

unnecessary has been the repeated
action of Congress in imposing them,
from the noted controversy over the
admission of Missouri in 1919, up to the
present day. Missouri was required
to pledge herself not to enjOin any
citizen from the exercise of his priyil-
eyes. Arkansas was readmitted to
representation on q fundamental condi-
ton that Cooley says was to protect
colCred citizens in the enjoyment OF
the ell ctive franchise, and this was he-
fore the adoption of the Fourteenth
amendment. A common requirement
has been that State will waive all
right to tax the lands of the United
States, which Judge Cooley says is
''irrevocable" because it constitutes an
article of compact between the State
and the nation which would render the
taxation void" We find no authorize
ton il the Constitution for this require
ment; and Mr.. Varian, unlike Judge
Cooley, says: ANY compac; made by
Congress with State would be OF no
binding force unless authorized by the
Constitution.
Mr.. Varian simply bubbles when he
says that our forefathers did not sur
render, in any degree, their rights OF
1 ocal self government"
Third-Can Congress impose condi-
tons on States that will be binding?
There is nothing forbidding it in the
Constitution. Its right to admit new
States is unqualified. 1t has frequently
exercised the power of demanding con-
ditions. Has it done So without au-
thority2 Presumably not. Could a
condition be more appropriate than
that Congress, in whom rests the abso
Lutte discretion, the far greater power, of
determining whether State shall be
admitted at all, should be consulted in
any specified change?
Certainly il would seem very foolish

hands Of a competent attorney could
be patented. A patent attorneys fees
on such conditional cases would be
about x25 per case--a gross sum OF
$G25,0O0. Count out disgusted in
ventors and those not able to pay, still
an enormous number would get out
patents if they knew how But the
trouble is Just hero--no one outside
the Patent Office is allowed excess to
those file books. And without them
they cannot learn the name and ad-
dresses of inventors. Then again,
there are some $1,000 cases now lying
in the examiners room awaiting the
two years limit. These are still more
valuable, for il they are taken up be-
fore the time limit expires, the initial
fees do not lapse, While in the other
cases they would haze to be repaid.
The practice in the United states
Patent Office was not always thus.
During Grants first term, for period
of year, attorneys were allowed ac-
cess to all letter books, and previous
to that had been allowed access to the
files of abandoned cases, but there was n
constant scramble and not in frequent
iy d "ight fights over them, and
about 1876 the Patent Office made
them secret.

Ir is getting dangerous for n
preacher to champion the cause of Il
political parts. Witness DIR. Nc
Glynn, Of New York, an apostle of
Henry George, and his collision with
mis- bighness, Pope Leo NIlI. The
row was raised, however, not so
much because the doctor took part
in political campaign, as because
ne harped on themes in diametrical
opposition to the teachings and
tenets of the church of Rome, and
because he failed to toe the mark
when ordered to do so by the pro-
paganda.

THEpractice of issuing railroad
passes to public officials is one of
doubtful propriety, to say the least.
IL needs no argument to prove that
there is question of public policy
and morals involved, but as to what
extent, perhaps, opinions will differ.
1t is absurd to say that the railroads
extend these "courtesies" as Il mat
ter of course and without expecting
anything in return, corporations are
not so punctiliously polite as that.
OF course they do not ask for any re-
ciprocation Of the favor. but they do
expect to secure the friendly dispo-
sition Of the party receiving the pass
TO what extent they DO this cannot
be known. Doubtless some men are
more influenced by such attentions
than others are, but almost any Judge
legislator or other official who has to
pass on questions involving railroad
interests is likely to he somewhat
biased or restrained if he has a pock-
ct full of free passes. Human nature
is tricky, and even an honest man
may be influenced by so small con.
sideration as Il free pass without
knowing it, Atleast two states have
undertaken to suppress the practice
by constitutional enactment. The
constitution of ofPennsylvaniaprohibits
the granting Of free passes or passes
at discount, "to any person, except
officers or employees of the com
pany," while that of Missouri pro-
hibits the granting of such favOrs to
members Of the state legislator or
my state, or county, or municipal

Rejected Patents.

There are ten books i'll the secret ar
ohives Of the United States Patent Of
| flee for which patent attorneys would
be willing to give 100000. They are
the books containing the names and
addresses OF inventors whose cases
have been rejected during the past ten
years. There has been an average of
2S,OOO cases filed in the Patent Office
every year for the last ten years and n
yearly average OF $4,000 patents grant
ed, Last year there were $4,000 an
plications filed and 24,OOO patents is
sued, the largest number in any one
year. On this showing something
like 60 per cent. OF the applications
have been patented. SO there have
been during the last ten years about
100000 rejected cases. These in part
include eases defeated i'm interfcrenccs
and applications allowed, but ON which

No contest for senator has attract
ed more attention during the winter
than that in New York. The fight
between Miller and HiscOcll was par
ticuiarily animated and bitter. The
contest was apparently deeper and
OF more importance than the
senatorship alone. The politicians,
and particularly the correspondents
who write political gossip, claim now
to have discovered the full import
ance of the election of Mr.. Hiscock as
senator. The most conspicuous and
noteworthy feature of the alleged
political revelation is the boom it
gives to Blaine. The stalwarts are
down. Hiscock, Blaine man, on
top, and all the Miller half-breeds
will flock to him.
The additional impetus thus given
to the Blaine boom is given special
significance by the fact that the state
of New York will now become the
great battle ground of the presi-
dental fight in 1855, if for no other
reason than this: that the thorough
reorganization of the republican
party in that state, which is one of
possible results of Hiscock's election,
will increase that party's activity
and strength. 1t is clear that the
interests of the campaign of 1888 will
center chiefly in New York, and
also clear that Blaine's chances have
been advanced by the recent election
i'm that state.
